And Then Came You

Story Behind The Song

I was working for government feeling trapped in a cubicle literally being forced to think a certain way about life. One day I met this magic man who inspired me to quit my government job and go into music full time.

Song Description

It's about being forced to live in a box, a confining reality, where there are arbitrary rules and then being there so long, that you actually start buying into all the confining rules about how people should or should not think and behave. After a while, you've been there so long that you're actually helping build the walls that shut out creativity and free thinking (without even realizing it). Then one day, an amazing free spirit comes along, takes your hand, and pulls you out of your cubicle world to freedom (and to love).

Lyrics

And Then Came You

One more wall and then they've got ya
At their beck and call
Slowly tightening their grip on ya
Cubicles for all

Hoo Hoo Hoo....Hoo Hoo Hoo...Hoo
Was caving to them all
and then came you
Hoo Hoo Hoo....Hoo Hoo Hoo...Hoo
Was helping build the walls
and then came you

No more thinkin' on your own now
No more point of view
Just relax and take this med'cin
An even better you

Hoo Hoo Hoo....Hoo Hoo Hoo...Hoo
Was afraid to lose control
and then came you
Hoo Hoo Hoo....Hoo Hoo Hoo...Hoo
Had bought into the role
and then came you

When I breathe, I'm breathing in with you
I know that we are two
of a kind...
You're freedom for my mind
Without you, I'd be trapped inside myself
Just sitting on a shelf
Of conformance
You know you blow my mind

Hoo Hoo Hoo....Hoo Hoo Hoo...Hoo
Was afraid to lose control
and then came you
Hoo Hoo Hoo....Hoo Hoo Hoo...Hoo
Had bought into the role
and then came you
